  4. picked up a nasty virus yesterday

    TrendMicro's Rootkit Buster is pretty badass as well. That sucker can take over your computer ... Make it run like a SOB ... Restarts your computer a few times on it's own. I surf where i want to surf and like going to the dark side of the internet ... It's more fun over there! If i have...

    Good bits make a world of difference!!! I like the Dewalt bits or other "black metal" bits. None of that white metal cheap azz crap. I destroy those bits in less than a minute with my old Walter/Metabo hammer drill.

  10. Calling all WRAPPERS.............

    Legitimate question here: Have you seen any failures caused from the seam facing the wind? Like i said ... I do it with the seam facing away but the reasoning of cut vinyl facing the wind also does not seem to affect it.
  11. Calling all WRAPPERS.............

    The wrappers that were at your shop during your first Meet and Greet were saying the same thing ... They thought it didn't matter which way the seam was overlapped. They liked starting from the center because it was easyer to lay the graphic straight across the vehicle. Whenever i have a seam...
  12. Another call.......................

    With me telling the customer how much it is going to cost to convert their logo to ready artwork. It quickly weeds out the tire kickers and sometimes people actually go for it! Get the money as a deposit before you do the work though!!!
  13. Another call.......................

    Hey ... I love it when customers give me artwork like that! That means an extra 125.00$ for vector conversion (what i would charge for that ummm logo). If they want the file after ... add 75.00$ And of course i would redo their layout for free.

    Beer Store was closing in Long Sault (off the 401) so i guess it was for the LCBO.

  20. How cold is it where you live?

    We go out in -15, -20 no problems. You just have to dress warm (layers is best). Colder than that ... Even customers will understand if you delay the job a day or two. The coldest install i ever did was when i was working for an old man (best boss ever) .. He apologized and said that this...
